Nathalie?

Tikkamasala · 27/10/2013 01:23

I agree its a bit dated but I do really like it!

Clawdy · 26/10/2013 23:40

Nice but very dated.

Littlecherublegs · 26/10/2013 23:21

I like it though dislike Nat which she would probably get called.
I like Natalia and Natasha too but would personally avoid for the same reason.

CremeEggThief · 26/10/2013 23:07

I like it, but I LOVE Natalia.

Frontdoorstep · 26/10/2013 21:00

I have a Natalie so I like it, in case you are interested in nn's , she is nine and never called anything other than Natalie.

squoosh · 26/10/2013 21:00

I like it and pronounce it beautifully!

Far nicer than other more fashionable names such as Florence or Beatrice.

night1971 · 26/10/2013 20:55

Dreadful. Especially when pronounced minus the "t" in the middle - Naaa - a-ley.

scarlettsmummy2 · 26/10/2013 20:49

Don't like it! Dated and clumpy.

MikeLitorisBites · 26/10/2013 20:48

It's my dd2' middle name so obvz I like it.

She is Eliza Natalie.

Coupon · 26/10/2013 20:46

Yes, I like it.

DumSpiroSpero · 26/10/2013 20:18

I'm not sure it goes 100% with your other DC's names but I don't know if that matters in the long run if you love the name.

My friend has two children with quite modern/colloquial names - her third is called something quite classical and my first thought was Hmm .

She's 5 now and she is who she is and the combo of names is totally irrelevant.

One of my closest friends is Natalie so I'm a bit biased!

weneedtotalkaboutkettles · 26/10/2013 19:25

I think it's nice - tiny bit "80s" but not massively so. Natasha for a nickname for Natalie though - what?! They are two different names, surely.

cranberryorange · 26/10/2013 19:04

I like Natalie but prefer Natalia which doesnt go with your other names.

What about Amanda, Josephine, Lucy or Joanna.

Lovely, with great nn (Natasha) and so apt for Christmas.

Locketjuice · 26/10/2013 18:47

Personally think it sounds really common, can imagine Bianca from eastenders screaming it Confused

wigglesrock · 26/10/2013 18:44

Yay Smile Lovely name.

CPtart · 26/10/2013 18:35

My favourite all time girls name ever. I had two DS.
